I read about golf, and write about golf, and watch golf, and play golf. Also look for me (a.k.a. 4Checker) on www.thegolfspace.com.

Open Championship groupings
The groupings are out for The Open this week, and here are some of the highlights:
Fernandez-Castano/Moore/Schwartzel - Very talented young players. I've been a fan of Charl since the beginning of 2009.
Poulter/Els/Cink - Two winners this year, along with last year's Champion Golfer.
Woods/Rose/Villegas - Clearly the premier group. Rose is as hot as anyone right now. Tiger will do well just to keep up at the rate he's going now.
Harrington/Ishikawa/Watson - Interesting mix of cultures and eras. It would be surprising to see Tom compete again, but who knows. Paddy has been a disappointment this year. He ended last year playing so very well, but it hasn't transferred.
Casey/Cabrera/Fowler - Is it time for Angel to jump up and win a major again? Is Casey over his injuries? How will Golfer Smurf do on the links?
Jimenez/Westwood/Scott - We'll really see how tough Lee Westwood is, after his huge disappointment at the US Open. Jimenez won last week, and Scott has been playing well also.
Montgomerie/Mickelson/Goosen - Interesting mix of personalities and styles of game.
ESPN's broadcast starts at 4:00 AM ET on Thursday. Might as well sleep on the couch Wed night.
